There are better profiles out there (4/6 people found this helpful)
This book is filled with cutesy asides, clichés and tabloid-esque hyperbole, most of which seem to have been sourced third hand at best. I expected good things from this book but sadly it’s a very low-brow account of Steve Jobs and for your money, there are many better options out there if you want a serious account on the man.

Steve Jobs, no matter what you think of him, this man knows what we want before we do.
I read this book every spare moment I had, for any any Macintosh user/lover this is must.
Totally compelling, couldn't put it down. (4/6 people found this helpful)
Can't remember reading a book as fast as this before! A well told story about a man who does seem to be a bit of a genius/lunatic combination. Nice to read the story about Pixar as well. Buy it now and enjoy!
I was interested in learning more about Steve Jobs... (9/11 people found this helpful)
I am a keen Macintosh user, and believe that the computer I have on my desk is the best there is. My interest in the personalities behind Apple came from watching the Movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley", which led me to read the book "Fire in the Valley", on which the movie was based. I then read "Apple Confidential", an account of the history of Apple Computer, Inc. The Second Coming of Steve Jobs does as much as any book could do to help one understand a very complex and contradictory man. He is an innovator and a genius, but he is also infantile and selfish. I don't know if I would like to work with him, but I love the products he turns out.
Overall, this is a fascinating account on the life of Mr Jobs between leaving Apple in 1985 and his victorious, and controvertial return, in 1996. You learn much about his relationships with employees, his NeXT and Pixar intrests and their sucesses and infamous failures. Bill Gates even gets a look in, leaving unsulting messages on Steve's answering machine, slagging-off his Macintosh.
